I have this exactly. So much so, I very rarely drive on motorways. The problem is worse when you get three or four lanes. The wider the road, the worse it is. Like you, I would love to conquer it. The panic and dizziness can be so bad that I find myself driving 40mph, but I feel as if I ™m going 90! To be fair, I feel better already knowing I ™m not the only one!

I feel that other people are judging me, and it’s terrible. I can’t even close my eyes in an open place. I’m afraid that someone will do something bad to me.

I can 100% relate to that. My fear is when places are very open and I’m walking down a hallway and then BAM a guy chases me and I run but then the guy dies and becomes a face and he was like a crushing speeding wall and it touched me and I’m dead with scary music on.

I am not that scared of dark and cozy places but open and dark spaces.

I can relate to this mostly. While I’m 90% sure I’m not agoraphobic (I only experience this when a large place is filled with others) I take comfort in small, dark enclosed spaces. As a matter of fact there is this one place I go to where I love one of their bathroom stalls. The door goes from top to bottom, its in a corner and it’s nice and small.

Death could strike me at any time, but as long as im indoors with one other person then im alright. thats why i always tell them no.
